Raphael

A new image of Raphael Sanzio, one of the leading figures of the Italian High Renaissance, emerges in this concise presentation of Raphael's life and work, highlighting his status as a great experimenter who studied the pieces of other great masters for inspiration. Change, assimilation, and curiosity drove his artistic impulse to perfect and challenge the results of his work, often considered flawless by his patrons. Examples of his work regarded as classical as well as pieces that typify his struggle for precision are included in this discussion of Raphael's vision.Farinella, Vincenzo is the author of 'Raphael', published 2005 under ISBN 9788874391219 and ISBN 8874391218.
